Virginia Woolf scholars from Brazil invite participants from all over the world to submit a proposal to the open forum Virginia Woolf: Sound and Rhythm in Translation, in preparation for the 35th Annual International Conference Virginia Woolf: Woolf and Sound, which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey, 24-28 June 2026.

About the forum

The forum aims to discuss the participants’ texts on sound and rhythm concerning the translation of Virginia Woolf’s oeuvre, with the prospect of having them published after the conference. Papers about all forms of translation, including intersemiotic translations and adaptations, are welcome.

Zoom meetings before and after

Important notice: There will be a pre-conference meeting to discuss proposals on 22 May 2026, from 9-10 a.m. (GMT-3), pre-conference readings, and a post-conference follow-up to discuss publication ideas on a date to be determined. Both pre- and post-conference meetings will be held online. The number of participants is limited to 15.

As the forum follows a collaborative model, in which researchers share their works in progress and explore possible connections with other researchers’ work, participants are encouraged to take part in both the pre- and post-conference meetings even if they do not plan to attend the conference in person.

How to submit

Submit your proposals (200–300 words) by 30 March 2026. Should you have any questions or comments, please write to woolftranssound26@gmail.com
